cannot help much, as I am not good in TPs.
Many people use TP1 and TP2, but not sure how many of them really confirmed that it's better approach from using only one TP level.
regarding price patterns trading, we expect the pattern to be located in some context and I think based on this context we should know where to expect the price to follow.
I am still using one TP level and this is not fixed, depends in majority of the way how price moves. If I see a potential signal in oposite side, I close the trade. If I see the news coming I sometimes close. If I was expecting strong move but price does confirm it, I often close. This means that rarely my originally expected TP is reached, but with R:R 10:1 and more that I trade it's still OK for me.
guess, TP we all do differently and only the best have confidence that they do it in the optimal way. Confidence supported with lots of historical trades and tests.
I set my target price of at least a 2 to 1 risk reward but I always take positions off as it is going in my favor. I will always leave something on for the big move should it come but to me the most important is money management to keep thoses losses small and have target prices vary depending on what time frame u read the charts. the higher the time frame is better for seeing true support and resistance

Hey kor4x,
Would you mind sharing your pips won and lost for the week / trade?
All I am looking for a benchmark data for my improvement targets from someone who is mastering HP trades!
BTW I would be happy to see similar data from anybody else as a weekly summary, like Paulselvan did it a couple of times.
Thank you!
